Boxing: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Boxing History Oct 31st 2011, 10:08 Defined broadly as two people punching each other, boxing is arguably the oldest of all sports. It is rules, however, which separate "boxing" from simply "fighting". The ancient Greeks are generally credited with being the first to institute rules and make boxing a true sport. Many historians cite the inclusion of boxing in the Olympic games as early as 688 B.C. as the sport's birth date. Boxing grew in stature during Roman times, with contestants often wearing fist coverings which could result in battles to the death. While boxing saw its popularity decline after the fall of Rome, it was destined to make a big comeback.

Boxing: Chuck Wepner: The Real Rocky

Boxing Get the latest headlines from the Boxing GuideSite. // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Chuck Wepner: The Real Rocky Oct 30th 2011, 22:22 Former heavyweight contender Chuck Wepner earned the nickname The Bayonne Bleeder during a pro career that lasted from 1964 to 1978. He faced George Foreman, Sonny Liston and, most famously, Muhammad Ali in compiling a 35-14-2 record. He also wrestled Andre the Giant. And a grizzly bear. In the end, Wepner may be best known for inspiring Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky" films ... and eventually suing Stallone when he never saw a dime from the franchise based on his life story. Stallone eventually settled with Wepner for an undisclosed amount. Now ESPN Films has done a documentary on Wepner called "The Real Rocky" (check local listings for replay dates/times). Hollywood - which never met a boxing underdog story it didn't like - is also getting in on the action with "The Bleeder", starring Liev Schreiber.

Mayweather Remains a PPV Star Oct 29th 2011, 16:24 It took a while, but the official pay-per-view numbers generated by the Sept. 17 Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz fight have finally been released ... and they're very impressive. Mayweather-Ortiz generated 1.25 million buys for a total of $78.4 million, making it the second highest grossing non-heavyweight pay-per-view event of all-time. Love him or hate, fight fans always tune in to watch Mayweather fight. Pretty Boy has now been involved in all three of the highest grossing non-heavyweight PPV events in boxing history: Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya ($136.9 million), Mayweather vs. Ortiz ($78.4 million) and Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley ($78.3 million). Mayweather-Ortiz did a similar number of buys as Manny Pacquiao-De La Hoya and Pacquiao-Mosley but beat both in revenue due to its higher price tag ($60-$70!).

Boxing: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Leon Spinks Oct 28th 2011, 10:07 Who Is Leon Spinks: Leon Spinks represented the United States as a light heavyweight boxer in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and won the Gold medal. He and Michael Spinks became the first brothers to win Gold medals in the same sport at the same Olympics. On February 15, 1978, in only his eighth professional fight, Spinks outpointed Muhammad Ali over 15 rounds to capture the world heavyweight title. Spinks lost the title back to Ali just seven months later and his career went into an irreversible tailspin. He last fought in 1995, ending with a pro record of 26-17-3. Where Is Leon Spinks Now: Spinks was reportedly homeless just over a decade after winning the heavyweight title. Later, after getting divorced, he briefly lived in a shelter in his native St. Louis. He's been a greeter at Mike Ditka's restaurant in Chicago. He also helped start a gym in Detroit and did assorted odd jobs in California. More recently, he was living in Columbus, Nebraska and working at a local YMCA and McDonalds. He was also volunteering at an after-school program for youth. Spinks' son, Cory Spinks, is a former welterweight and junior middleweight world champion. Leon can usually be spotted in or around the corner at each of his son's fights. More Where Are They Now?
